Tucson Gateway

The Tucson Gateway was created in collaboration with local Tucson Architects Burns and Wald-Hopkins, and artist Moira Geoffrion. The project is a bridge spanning a freeway that is supported by two tilted parabolic arches. The arches are held aloft by a series of suspension cables project out at oblique angles along either side of the freeway. Additional cables suspend the bridge under the arches. All of the cables are sheathed in an optical coating that transforms them into glowing optical filaments.
